Over the past 3 years or so husband has created a “donation or sell” pile in our home office. It has gotten bigger and bigger with no action on the actual donating or selling.
Last night I had to get everything off of the floor as the carpet cleaners were coming this morning. So I took all of the bags of stuff I put together to be donated in the garage. I also took about 2/3 of his pile using the, what I considered, logical reason that it’s been there for THREE years.
He saw the pile in the garage this morning. He moved several of the items to get to his car.
On my way to work today I dropped everything off. I was thrilled. Stuff out of my house! Yay!
This evening I mentioned to husband how thrilled I was about this simple action being completed. He asked about one of items. He was confused why I would donate it. How he wanted to use it.
Really I asked? Even though it’s been sitting in a pile for 3 years on the floor?Yes he responded.
Too bad I said. If you haven’t needed it all this time, or valued it enough to move it from a pile on the floor, you do not need it.
He did not agree.
WHA? *shouldsmackhiminthehead*

This made me laugh. It is Murphy’s law that the moment you throw something away, you will need it. I am not what you would call enivironmentally- friendly. I will chuck something that I have not seen or used in a few months but I also know those who will packrat everything from the time Moses walked off the mountain with those fifteen commandments. Thanks for the laugh. ;)

Glad you laughed :) I am a big believer in getting rid of stuff. I hate piles, I hate packed closets, I hate messy garages. Now – I do have all of my Star Wars stuff. But that’s pretty much the only thing I save! And that’s collecting (although I’m sure pack rats would argue the same thing…) But piles drive me CRAZY!!!! So if you put it in a pile and leave it there for months…and years…on end I am going to assume you don’t care about it anymore and eventually deal with it myself!

Funny post! A tricky situation to be sure. All the “experts” say that we’re all responsible for “de-cluttering” our own stuff. But I don’t listen to the experts – I’m constantly donating stuff that belongs to other family members that they’ve been hanging onto for years. Esp. old clothes – from high school. I will do this on the sly. It has gotten me into loads of trouble with my sisters. I’ve had to scale back my black ops in recent months. But come the spring. I’ll be back at it. heh heh…. You should make your husband watch “Hoarders” on A and E – and scare him straight.
cheers!

I am one of those people that hates piles of stuff. If you open a piece of mail, throw it away, file it , whatever now. If you take off your clothes, hang them up, put them in hamper, whatever. If you take care of things as they come up, you never have much of a backlog. My husband is very much NOT like this. It drives me crazy. Insane.
So when he created a pile of donations/to be sold on Craigslist pile, I thought uh-huh….and 3 years later there it sat. While my donation or to be sold piles have come and gone numerous times over. He didn’t need anything in that pile. You don’t *need* something you never even thought about for 3 years. He knows it. And I;m sure he’s forgotten about it once again since talking about it last night. Dork.
